Digital BW, The Print

Ahhh, something just occured to me.

You are not diluting the Eboni when placed in the LK and LLK, hence 
QTR and curves.

I'm curious, though, of what can be done concerning the 4800 with 
Eboni and the method that your using for the R1800.

When printing on the 4800, I don't print smaller than 11x14", so 
maybe the graininess won't be an issue for me.

Plus, a little grain looks Tri-X (somewhat)and most of my large 
prints are from scanned negs anyhow.

Anyways, please report what your expireances are with the 4800 and 
the Eboni.

(Another option is to just buy a used 4000 and install Eboni and 
print B.O., but I really don't need ANOTHER printer!)

Thanks again,


Scott
